I would increase conscription to at least 8 months with an incentive to join to Reserve Forces. Reserve Forces should get weekend training for at least 26 weeks of the year. Taiwan's biggest focus overall should be on guerilla warfare. Less focus on vehicles and more on AT rockets, AA missiles and Anti-Ship missiles. Trucks should be used to get troops quickly to the shore. Taiwan could even consider making Technicals.

The real question is why do the Chinese want to kill the Taiwanese? Why do Chinese soldiers want to kill people? If they don't, they won't invade Taiwan

I think it would take more than 2 hours, but they could definitely do it

@Drew Peacock The neologism "technical" describing such a vehicle is believed to have originated in Somalia during the Somali Civil War in the early 1990s. Barred from bringing in private security, non-governmental organizations hired local gunmen to protect their personnel, using money defined as "technical assistance grants". Eventually the term broadened to include any vehicle carrying armed men. However, an alternative account is given by Michael Maren, who says the term was first used in Somalia in the 1980s, after engineers from Soviet arms manufacturer Tekniko mounted weapons on vehicles for the Somali National Movement during the Somaliland War of Independence. "Technicals" have also been referred to as "battlewagons" and "guntrucks".

@Drew Peacock I don't see how this is a difficult concept to grasp. If the vehicle was made from the ground up with military intentions and weapons, it's one of many military vehicles. If the vehicle was made from the ground up with civilian intentions and no innate weapon features, but then later has a machinegun bolted to it, it's a Technical. What is this argument? Is a go-cart with a mortar strapped to it, a tank to you? What's your definition of a dump truck with a 105mm Recoilless Rifle attached to it?
